We want little to no movement for our stern tube and cutlass bearing
Matt and I have been continuing a lot of our work underneath the boat and in the engine beds.
Last week we were able to bond the stern tube to the skeg, but it was slightly off, which is going to make for more work finishing it. We did not want the same problem on the port side! Luckily we have Colby’s laser to help us from start to finish.
Using our regular laser level to line up the template exactly within the engine bed, we then found the placement for the stern tube, and how the skeg will sit in it. Matt bonds the skeg to the hull with thickened resin, and we let it cure overnight. While that’s going on though, we’re able to glass around both the stern tube and skeg over on the starboard side.
As far as my other work, I’m still finishing up touchups with our epoxy fairing compound so we can get the next layers of primer on the hulls. One big change is that on the starboard hull, our next coat of primer will be done with Awl Quick, which will be the last primer we use before paint.
We hope you enjoy!
Much love,
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
